the Biden Administration is now openly mocking Americans who aren't buying into their electric car scam Joe Biden's fantasy of replacing your gas guzzler with an EV is short circuiting sales are nowhere near what the administration promised and most people don't have the green to go green but America's hard hat wearing Transportation secretary is Keeping the Faith Pete Budaj jedge is dismissing anyone not on board with the EV Revolution is some kind of tech Neanderthal let's be clear that the au
tomotive sector is moving toward EVs and we can't pretend otherwise sometimes when these debates happen I feel like it's the early 2000s and I'm talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever the reality is that the automotive sector is moving toward EVs and the US can either fall behind China or we can claim the lead President Biden wants to make sure that those EVS are made in America Buddha Jud going on to brag about his atome charger which is a luxury that he
is afforded but not for the rest of us Joe Biden has spent $7 billion do of your tax money and has produced only seven stations in two years there are more ways to move electricity than there are to move electric than there are to move liquid fuel you know that's why my house in Michigan I can fill uh our our hybrid plugin electric uh with uh with electricity obviously I can't do that with gas at my house truckers are bashing Biden's EV push in their industry saying electric big rigs are a pipe
dream watch this there was a company in Juliet Illinois was going to put a terminal in for 30 trucks the city said you can't do it you're going to use more electricity than the entire city of J Juliet Illinois our newer trucks will have to have a longer than usual warranty they're going to add that in into the pricing of the trucks yeah which for smaller trucking companies they're they're not going to be able to afford it and so they're just going to have to um s extend the life of their old tru
cks and become less efficient and and ends up creating more pollution all right Jesse you know it seems the administration is in a big rush for this when the infrastructure is not only not ready for the charging stations but it appears that our electric grid is balking and as as old as it is isn't going to be able to sustain these electric Chargers no it's not my dad sent me one of those funny old man videos from the internet that's like what's the difference between a liberal and a conservative
and it starts out well conservative doesn't like to eat meat he's a vegan that's fine if a liberal doesn't like to eat meat he tries to ban meat everywhere yeah say liberal doesn't like a talk show conservative just changed the channel the liberal ban the talk show Republic Republican doesn't have health care maybe he's down on his luck they see what they can do to improve their life the liberal give me stuff free healthc care welfare make my life better it's about personal responsibility we li
ve our own life we make our own decisions we're accountable and the Liberals just want to get everybody in society involved in their business and I've had it just because something is new Jessica doesn't make it better I know a man who only drinks liquids that have been around for a thousand years only drinks tea wine and water should he drink a Gatorade because it's new because it has electrolytes Jessica of course not something that is new doesn't mean it's progress things that have been aroun
d for thousands of years are actually pretty good look at the architecture you see around these great buildings some of them look like they were just put up a couple years ago and they look like vomit how about uh fashion you ever see men's fashion these days it's ridiculous go back to 1820 in Great Britain everyone looked like a stud do you think it's better to read a book or do you think it's better to stare at the stupid screen all day it's better to read a book did you know this Jessica that
an electric car MH is twice as heavy as a regular car so we're going to double the weight on all the parking garages the roads and bridges you think last bridge that collaps is going to be a onetime thing everything's going to collapse yeah the e a Tesla is the same as a shipping container you're doubling the size and the weight of everything that's on the road what do you think's going to happen to the roads mayor Pete couldn't even fix a pothole there's going to be thousands of potholes all o
ver the country this is what we have to face thank you Jessica would you like to respond Jessica it was such a rich diet tribe there's so much in there um I would be of most men dress like upper class Brits from the 1820s but there were a lot of people not looking so hot in 1820 as well um so fashion what else the infrastructure well we know the B Administration cares about that um what else did you have thrown in there oh the the person who only drinks wine tea and would never touch a Gatorade
my point ising I know what your point was progress doesn't necessarily mean well a new thing is better no sometimes there are things that are invented that are terrible but there are other things that are amazing and I we should have a conversation about how you consume things cuz you say you're happy to give this up so you just sit there with your big book but I I don't think that that's really true didn't say I'd give it up but you said it was better any who um this is one of those issues wher
e the administration does have a good answer that they could go towards which is hybrids and everyone agrees about that so mayor Pete is Right secretary Pete I'm sorry mayor Pete is just so much cuter um um they know that the car companies cuz all the CEOs have come out and said we're not going to be able to make these targets it is our aspirations to be able to cut down on emissions but the infrastructure doesn't work for this and we don't have the appetite and they're too expensive for people
and most people who are driving electric vehicles are driving Teslas and we know that Teslas are very expensive comparatively so the hybrid route seems like the right way forward and I think that's what they should be emphasizing and the CEOs of these companies would also be happy you know what's interesting Greg is that the EVS are slowing down in terms of people's appetite to have them even Tesla uh has suffered a Slowdown in terms of uh uh purchases so what is what is Buddha judge talking abo
ut when he says we don't want to fall behind China aren't we buying all the uh the batteries from China to begin with yeah I just have to say I I just know Jesse too well now you sat down and you're going I can't believe we have to talk about this and so you just decided to completely derail the entire segment with two and a half minutes of magical nonsense magical wait emphasis on the magical it was magical uh I think that here's the problem here but Buddha jedge should concentrate on the more
urgent issues that we are facing in the world of transportation we have Bridges collapsing ships crashing into Bridges trains derailing planes Lo losing doors people sleeping at airports this shows you when you listen to them that sooner or later luxury beliefs will drain you of the energy that's necessary to actually deal with substantial problems in the present day reality you know remember while all these things are going wrong this guy was was preoccupied with how racist the roads were in th
e past and there's something else in his comparison to landlines no one advocated for bans for landlines like they're doing with gas cars we didn't demonize people for having landlines we didn't say you have blood on your hands Grandma for still using your landline and we didn't we didn't push our argument based on faulty science and faulty statistics that are all coming apart now landliner and land liners weren't pressured or vandalized had their van had their their places vandalized as a mean
to encourage them to change uh gas powered vehicles unlike landlines provide the found for the running of this country your food your housing your work relies on consistent energy and as much as we like wind and solar it's not consistent and with electric it's great but it's an alternative it's an option it's not a replacement and finally to point out the obvious when he was talking about his electric car at home he still has to plug it in like a landline you don't have to plug in you don't have
to plug in a gas car and this has always been my issue as somebody that suffers from Cas which is charge anxiety uh syndrome you know you're charging plugs and you're worried about your batteries of your laptops your phones your Earp pods your speakers I don't know if I can handle another charging you know station and worry about my car I already suffer from rtpa which is road trip P anxiety where I'm constantly worried as I get older going on long trips can I can I actually do two or three hou
rs driving without stopping can't so you're going to add to the rtpa this charge anxiety I don't think I'll ever leave the house it's almost hard for you to get through the show oh my God I GNA say this is aniy f hour of my day but I can't leave you know Juliet Illinois would not allow for the building of a terminal with charging stations for these uh I guess 18 wheelers they said it would overburden the electric grid absolutely and also for the truckers this is really important if you think you
r products are expensive now wait till the duckers cannot deliver Goods except for they they have to charge for two hours then they can only go 70 miles and then they got to charge again whereas today they fill up once they do all their deliveries for a day then they fill up again and so that the truckers have a very good point and that goes right back to your pocketbook We buried the lead on something Jesse said his dad sent him the old man video maybe the dad is turning a little bit I'm always
surprised when it's like the Biden Administration believes and maybe they believe this is true that secretary budajudge is their sharpest communicator but every time he talks I'm like wait that doesn't make any sense because as you were saying the government wasn't trying to give people money in order to get them to leave landlines or buy cell phones people did that because it was convenient cell phone rebate right like yeah right so it was convenient and also families did a cost benefit analys
is they said it is worth it for me to have this phone because it's convenient or I'll feel safer with it the other thing is the messaging progression on electric vehicles has been very fast fascinating it began with you can save money on gas and that's why you should get an electric vehicle remember this is at the beginning of the Biden Administration and then it turned to we will literally pay you to buy these electric vehicles here's all these subsidies and now it's if you don't buy these vehi
cles you're a flat Earth rube and thank you that was the that was the point I thought of right before that was a good point it was a good one thank you I really I really worked on that all day and I had nothing until that moment Okay click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis you won't get it anywhere else
